  • Immune privileged and modulatory progenitor cells
    Patent number: 8900573
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for modulating an immune reaction between lymphocytes and a body recognized by the lymphocytes as foreign. The method exploits the immunomodulating activity of a new class of progenitor cells termed HUCPVCs derived from the perivascular region of human umbilical cord. The method can also emply soluble factors exuded by cultured HUCPVCs. The method is useful to treat immune disorders including graft versus host disease, autoimmune disorders, and the like.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 2, 2014
    Inventors: John E. Davies, Jane Ennis, Alejandro Gomez-Aristiz-Abal, Dolores Baksh

  • Viable cells from frozen umbilical cord tissue
    Patent number: 8278102
    Abstract: Viable progenitor cells are extracted from frozen umbilical cord tissue. In embodiments, the umbilical cord tissue is a blood vessel bearing perivascular Wharton's jelly, and the extracted progenitor cells are HUCPVCs.
